hmm, I generally prefer thai jasmine over basmati

they are very different styles, saying one is higher quality than the other is just plain wrong.

At the end of the day, it is about preferenxe. I am Chinese diaspora and have been eating Jasmine more than Basmati since it is not my preference.

Heck even local rice is better.
